or within a separate style sheet file:
      table.sample
        {
        width:        60%;
        border:       8px green solid;
        margin-left:  auto;
        margin-right: auto;
        }
      table.sample th, table.sample td
        {
        height:       70px;
        border:       2px red solid;
        }

Within the body:

            <table class="sample">  
              <caption> Default alignment  </caption> 
              <tr>  
                <th width="40%">   Heading 1   </th>
